You will find on this page information on those that have served our country from Monroe Township. Some died for their efforts and some received injuries that they never overcame during the remainder of their lifetime. For those who put their lives on the line for our freedom and ideals, whether they be our neighbors or family, we should be eternally grateful.

Any omissions are purely accidental and I welcome anyone who wants to submit an ancestor for inclusion here. Most of these names came from local histories and the Monroe Township Cemeteries so there are bound to be some missing. We would hope that this page will not grow except to include only those that already have served during and armed conflict.
